2019-01-21Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than just a federal holiday off of school or work. MLK’s nonviolent yet assertive approach towards social justice laid the foundation for the environmental movement a decade later. His legacy continues to be a powerful force for change as his vision of a better world comes to fruition. Social justice and the environment go hand-in-hand, and MLK knew that. He once said, “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.” So go out and do something for your community, even something as simple as planting a few trees along the freeway can make a significant difference because when all those little things add up, that’s what changes the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

2019-01-21While we know a great deal about the space around us, there is much of the universe that we have not explored yet. That included the far side of the moon up until a month ago when China announced that they had sent a probe to the moon... along with an experiment. ⠀⠀ Here is what npr.com had to say about the ordeal: ⠀⠀ “Earlier this month, China announced it had become the first country to land a probe on the far side of the moon, in what is largely a scientific mission and is also preparation for sending Chinese astronauts to the moon.”
⠀⠀ “Tucked aboard the spacecraft were seeds within a biosphere equipped with some of the comforts of home: water, soil, air and a heat control system, Chinese researchers said. Once the probe touched down, ground control instructed the probe to water the seeds.”
⠀⠀ “And on Tuesday Chongqing University announced that photographs of tender cotton shoots revealed "the first green leaf growing on the moon in human history was successfully realized."”
⠀⠀ “Xie Gengxin of Chongqing University, who designed the experiment, told CNN that the temperature inside the biosphere was bouncing around so much that no life could be sustained and the control team remotely shut down power inside.”
⠀⠀ “Despite their reaching an untimely end, Simon Gilroy, Professor of Botany at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told NPR that the seeds are still germinating big hopes.”

2019-01-21Micro plastics!! A few weeks ago on the beach, my friend and I found almost a cup full of micro plastics and this was without even getting up to look for them.
Facts about micro plastics:
🌎 Each year, 8 million tons of plastics enter our oceans; that is equivalent to dumping a truckload of plastics into the ocean every minute
💥 Microplastics and the chemicals that attach to them in the water can contaminate the food chain, including seafood products eaten by people
🥀 In 2017, six deep-sea trenches were chosen for an investigation to see if micro plastics had been consumed by the creatures that live there. These creatures live 11,000 meters down, yet every single one had eaten micro plastic.
-
WHAT CAN YOU DO? -
🌷 Avoid products with microbeads. Look for the words “polyethylene” or “polystyrene” on the ingredient label.
-
🍀Don’t litter, and pick up the litter you see. Take part in beach and other litter cleanups.
-
🍁Close the lid on your trash and recycling carts when you place them at the curb.
-
💐Carry and use reusable shopping bags. Say “no thanks” to single-use plastic bags. https://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/1a0369583fac87b918dfeb6a3e7ef1f0/5CE40E2C/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/s320x320/49858459_2647368085304130_2417421135143279297_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com2019-01-21

2019-01-21Photo 1: I currently have a really nasty cold. I've swapped Vicks plug-ins for Oil of Oregano in my diffuser. It and Eucalyptus oil work wonders clearing sinuses in my opinion.
Photo 2: On the way home from school today, Aalya and I stopped in at @lushcosmetics to get out of the -30 Celsius weather. I picked up the Jade Roller Cleansing Balm and the Jungle Solid Conditioner. I'm happy to be phasing single-use containers (and basically containers all together) out of my shower and skincare routine.
